This does work for certain things, but for some things you don’t just want proof of possession of a particular person’s ID card, you want to see that a particular person matches the document they are presenting in addition to verifying that the doc is real.

I'd have to imagine that's exceptionally rare though. It would be semi-solved with a second factor to unlock the card.
